Couldn't get hold of you, Matt, and had to go with what we had.

Bad news then DC, I know it's hard enough get work after 50, 56 in my case hence why I grabbed this chance on the boat, even when the money is not brilliant.

However on a lighter note I still have my position as Head Condiment distributor at TT, unless that whippersnapper upstart takes it from under my feet.

My kids are sad too. Jack loved him, I think Jumanji, Bicentennial Man & Mrs Doubtfire being his favourites as a child. I loved The World According to Garp & What Dreams May Come. Perhaps some of his darker/deeper films.

We watched the ISS last night, such a bright and long pass. Someone's suggested it came to pick up Mork :'(

A lot of oil and gas is very old fashioned and places for old timers do crop up. It's a philosophy that has kept me going for a few years now. It's a variation of the philosophy I had in my forties when I felt the industry was a bit middle-aged and before that when, to my mind, it felt youngish. Glass half full, me.

The worst thing is the damage this announcement may do to the get together in Kingston next Tuesday evening. I'll see what the readings are looking like on the TT-Get-Together-O-Meter.

Your position is safe but your ceremonail uniform could do with a spruce up.

I can't think of one thing he did that I didn't like. He formed my humour, right from Mork frown

Always he was plagued with this darkness, his humour came from it as part if the battle, such a shame the dark won.

That's a lovely thought smile

DC - always crap to hear that as a contractor especially when you are not expecting it frown is there much out there in your one do you know?

Thanks, ali. I'm old enough to know better than be taken by surprise smile I'll have a week or so off and then start looking in earnest. This is so much better than being laid off just before Christmas, I can't tell you.

Latest: Ernest says he doesn't want me looking in him.

Sorry to read of your news, Dicky.

Arbeit Macht Frei is a bit of a myth anyway.

Crying over some dead geezer you never met?

I bet you went and popped some flowers down to Diana as well.

Anyway, I've had three cups of tea, a bowl of instant golden syrup flavour porridge and half a pain au chocolat. No heartburn yet.

It's only a matter of time.

I'm more confused why someone would mock a person for crying when they have never met.

Playground is that way fella. -------------------->

I read that to there and my stomach turned. I overloaded a bowl of Cornflakes with a vat of Golden Syrup as a child once, can't abide the stuff any more.

Don't panic, Gretchen. Trying to assess the amount of clearing up I have to do after sitting.here for two and.a half years, I came across a packet of instant golden syrup flavour porridge. It seemed rude not to eat it. The chances of it becoming a habit are negligible.

I eat the instant golden syrup most days at work. I like 'em.
